Getting ready for spring skiing!

Skiers have been enjoying excellent conditions this winter. However don’t wait until the last minute to plan your next ski trip. With little snowfall received during January and February, it looks as though the spring skiing season will be shorter than usual.

Groups abounded from everywhere
Week days have also been busy lately at Le Grand Lodge with many corporate groups and organizations gracing us with hosting their gatherings and events. During the last month, we have had the pleasure of welcoming the Canadian sales team of a high profile cosmetic company, the technicians from a well known telephone company, a group of skiers from Belgium and employees from various banking institutions and insurance companies. The praises received were unanimous on the services, fine dining and cozy atmosphere of the Grand Lodge; trademarks of our success. Our sincerest thank you and appreciation on behalf of all Grand Lodge collaborators!
On this note, I invite you to join me by the fireside of your favorite Lodge.
